But You..... Did! And None of us Looked Back! 😊
Nice

Et des années plutard, le temps lui donna raison. L’avancement de l’Afrique n’a jamais dépendu de l’Europe. C’est eux qui auront toujours besoin de nous et de nos resources, jamais le contraire.
😮
THIS!!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊💛
I think Sub-Saharan African countries need forward thinking leaders. Who can strategies plans to make their countries desirable.
Ok!
What is the actress name?
So beautiful!
Where can I watch full film
Absolutely amazing!
Im not African but I do share somewhat similar past being colonialism. This is one of the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard, why should we center our entire being our art our soul to the eyes of outsiders? We should make art that will enrich our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers’ souls.
¿Donde se puede ver?
Wow this was so long ago...I was 18 yo when we filmed this....

I have been searching for this movie for decades, ever since I first heard its soundtrack in the early 1990s. The music has been playing in my head ever since, and I have never been able to forget it. I am so grateful that you have uploaded this movie, so that I can finally see it and experience the soundtrack for myself once again.
What a load of crap
Nice trailer
Sensational!
je veux le complé
King 🫠
At Calabash enjoying!
A foolish question like this would never have been asked if they were speaking to a european director. He doesn't need any kind of approval from europe.
exactly!!
Formidable! I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
so fortunate to be born in the 21st century so i could skip over a lot of these problems with access to digital video
Can you provide me with a song for this dance? My students are learning part of this as we study Guinea for our culture day. Thank you!
Search it as kuku 👍🏾
Hommage a ce grand Homme. Hotep

I'll be on a panel discussing this documentary in Sweden.
21-year old Marpessa Dawn is in this film 💜
What a beauty! I first saw her in Orfeu Negro: a Masterpiece!
Thank you for this.
Very interesting discussion. I see a lot of similarities between play and entrepreneurship and how you can’t limit yourself based off of what you don’t have. Great knowledge given
Where can I get this movie ♥️
Amazon prime
Who was the production of the complete interview carried out? I would like to use it, if possible, in an educational video about Sembène.
